RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the genetic cause of early onset autosomal dominant hearing loss segregating in five-generation kindred of Chinese descent and provide preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)for them. METHODS: Clinical examination, pedigree analysis and exome sequencing were carried out on the family. Minigene-based splicing analysis, in vivo RNA analysis and protein structure prediction by molecular modeling were conducted on the candidate variant. PGT for the causative variation and chromosome aneuploidis based on SNP analysis has been used for avoidance of hearing loss in this family. RESULTS: All the affected individuals presented with moderate down-sloping hearing loss and whole-exome sequencing identified a novel splice-site variant c.5383+6T>A in the tested subjects within the TECTA locus. Genotyping of all the 32 family members confirmed segregation of this variant and the hearing loss phenotype in the extended family. Functional analysis of RNA and molecular modeling indicates that c.5383+6T>A is a pathogenic splice-site variant and should be considered as genetic cause of the hearing loss. Furthermore, a successful singleton pregnancy with no variation in TECTA c.5383+6 was established and a healthy male child was born by PGT. CONCLUSION: We have identified a novel variant c.5383+6T>A in TECTA ZA-ZP inter-domain, which could be attributable to the early-onset autosomal dominant hearing loss. The implications of our study are valuable in elucidating the disrupted RNA splicing and uncovering the genetic cause of hearing loss with TECTA pathogenic variants, as well as providing reproductive approaches to healthy offspring.

RESUMO

Intelligent utilization of the anionic redox reaction (ARR) in Li-rich cathodes is an advanced strategy for the practical implementation of next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. However, due to the intrinsic complexity of ARR (e.g., nucleophilic attacks), the instability of the cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) on a Li-rich cathode presents more challenges than typical high-voltage cathodes. Here, we manipulate CEI interfacial engineering by introducing an all-fluorinated electrolyte and exploiting its interaction with the nucleophilic attack to construct a gradient CEI containing a pair of fluorinated layers on a Li-rich cathode, delivering enhanced interfacial stability. Negative/detrimental nucleophilic electrolyte decomposition has been efficiently evolved to further reinforce CEI fabrication, resulting in the construction of LiF-based indurated outer shield and fluorinated polymer-based flexible inner sheaths. Gradient interphase engineering dramatically improved the capacity retention of the Li-rich cathode from 43 to 71% after 800 cycles and achieved superior cycling stability in anode-free and pouch-type full cells (98.8% capacity retention, 220 cycles), respectively.

RESUMO

ß-Galactosidase (ß-gal), which is responsible for the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond of lactose to galactose, has been recognized as an important biomarker of cell or organism status, especially cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Extensive efforts have been devoted to develop probes for detecting and visualizing ß-gal in cells. Herein, a fluorescent probe gal-HCA which possesses both excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties was prepared to monitor ß-gal in living cells. The probe consists of 2-hydroxy-4'-dimethylamino-chalcone (HCA) capped with a D-galactose group. The cleavage of the glycosidic bond in gal-HCA triggered by ß-gal releases HCA, which results in a significant bathochromic shift in fluorescence from 532 to 615 nm. The probe exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity toward ß-gal with a detection limit as low as 0.0122 U mL-1. The confocal imaging investigation demonstrated the potential of gal-HCA in monitoring the endocellular overexpressed ß-gal in senescent cells and ovarian cancer cells. This study provides a straightforward approach for the development of fluorescent probes to monitor ß-gal and detection of ß-gal-associated diseases.

RESUMO

The utilization of TiO2 nanolayers that possess excellent biocompatibility and physical properties in DNA sensing and sequencing remains largely to be explored. To examine their applicability in gene sequencing, a comprehensive study on the interaction of DNA oligonucleotides with TiO2 nanolayers was performed through adsorption and desorption experiments. TiO2 nanolayers with 10 nm thickness were fabricated via magnetron sputtering onto a 6-inch silicon wafer. A simple chip block method, validated via quartz crystal microbalance experiments with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), was proposed to study the adsorption behaviors and interaction mechanisms under a variety of critical influencing factors, including DNA concentration, length, and type, adsorption time, pH, and metal ions. It is determined that the adsorption takes 2 h to reach saturation in the MES solution and the adsorption capacity is significantly enhanced by lowering the pH due to the isoelectric point being pH = 6 for TiO2. The adsorption percentages of nucleobases are largely similar in the MES solution while following 5T = 5G > 5C > 5A in HEPES buffer for an adsorption duration of 2.5 h. Through pre-adsorption experiments, it is deduced that DNA oligonucleotides are horizontally adsorbed on the nanolayer. This further demonstrates that mono-, di-, and tri-valent metal ions promote the adsorption, whereas Zn2+ has strong adsorption by inducing DNA condensation. Based on the desorption experiments, it is revealed that electrostatic force dominates the adsorption over van der Waals force and hydrogen bonds. The phosphate group is the main functional group for adsorption, and the adsorption strength increases with the length of the oligonucleotide. This study provides comprehensive data on the adsorption of DNA oligonucleotides onto TiO2 nanolayers and clarifies the interaction mechanisms therein, which will be valuable for applications of TiO2 in DNA-related applications.

RESUMO

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), a prominent spice crop, known as the "king of spices", originated from India. The growth and development of black pepper are influenced by various environmental conditions. MYB transcription factors play a crucial role in controlling metabolic processes, abiotic stress management, and plant growth and development. In this study, we identified 160 PnMYB transcription factors in the black pepper genome. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using 125 R2R3-MYB proteins from black pepper and Arabidopsis thaliana, resulting in the mapping of 20 groups on the phylogenetic tree, each containing members from both species. Most members of the PnMYB family possess two introns, and motif 3 and motif 4 are conserved in all members. The number of genes on each chromosome ranges from 1 to 10. Collinear analysis indicated the creation of new members through gene fragments and tandem replication. The Ka/Ks ratio indicated that purifying selection and positive selection acted on PnMYB of pepper. The majority of pepper PnMYB family members were in the nucleus. Significant differences in gene expression levels were observed between different species and infection periods when Piper nigrum L. and Piper flaviflorum were infected with Phytophthora capsici. These findings are valuable for future studies on the biological role and molecular mechanism of the PnMYB gene.

RESUMO

Soluble starch synthases (SSs) play important roles in the synthesis of cassava starch. However, the expression characteristics of the cassava SSs genes have not been elucidated. In this study, the MeSSIII-1 gene and its promoter, from SC8 cassava cultivars, were respectively isolated by PCR amplification. MeSSIII-1 protein was localized to the chloroplasts. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the MeSSIII-1 gene was expressed in almost all tissues tested, and the expression in mature leaves was 18.9 times more than that in tuber roots. MeSSIII-1 expression was induced by methyljasmonate (MeJA), abscisic acid (ABA), and ethylene (ET) hormones in cassava. MeSSIII-1 expression patterns were further confirmed in proMeSSIII-1 transgenic cassava. The promoter deletion analysis showed that the -264 bp to -1 bp MeSSIII-1 promoter has basal activity. The range from -1228 bp to -987 bp and -488 bp to -264 bp significantly enhance promoter activity. The regions from -987 bp to -747 bp and -747 bp to -488 bp have repressive activity. These findings will provide an important reference for research on the potential function and transcriptional regulation mechanisms of the MeSSIII-1 gene and for further in-depth exploration of the regulatory network of its internal functional elements.

RESUMO

Electrolyte engineering is a fascinating choice to improve the performance of Li-rich layered oxide cathodes (LRLO) for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. However, many existing electrolyte designs and adjustment principles tend to overlook the unique challenges posed by LRLO, particularly the nucleophilic attack. Here, we introduce an electrolyte modification by locally replacing carbonate solvents in traditional electrolytes with a fluoro-ether. By benefit of the decomposition of fluoro-ether under nucleophilic O-related attacks, which delivers an excellent passivation layer with LiF and polymers, possessing rigidity and flexibility on the LRLO surface. More importantly, the fluoro-ether acts as "sutures", ensuring the integrity and stability of both interfacial and bulk structures, which contributed to suppressing severe polarization and enhancing the cycling capacity retention from 39 % to 78 % after 300 cycles for the 4.8 V-class LRLO. This key electrolyte strategy with comprehensive analysis, provides new insights into addressing nucleophilic challenge for high-energy anionic redox related cathode systems.

RESUMO

Acting as a passive protective layer, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the Li-metal anode. Derived from the reductive decomposition of electrolytes (e.g., anion and solvent), the SEI construction presents as an interfacial process accompanied by the dynamic de-solvation process during Li-metal plating. However, typical electrolyte engineering and related SEI modification strategies always ignore the dynamic evolution of electrolyte configuration at the Li/electrolyte interface, which essentially determines the SEI architecture. Herein, by employing advanced electrochemical in situ FT-IR and MRI technologies, we directly visualize the dynamic variations of solvation environments involving Li+-solvent/anion. Remarkably, a weakened Li+-solvent interaction and anion-lean interfacial electrolyte configuration have been synchronously revealed, which is difficult for the fabrication of anion-derived SEI layer. Moreover, as a simple electrochemical regulation strategy, pulse protocol was introduced to effectively restore the interfacial anion concentration, resulting in an enhanced LiF-rich SEI layer and improved Li-metal plating/stripping reversibility.

RESUMO

Electrolyte engineering is crucial for improving cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries, especially at high charging cut-off voltages. However, typical electrolyte modification strategies always focus on the solvation structure in the bulk region, but consistently neglect the dynamic evolution of electrolyte solvation configuration at the cathode-electrolyte interface, which directly influences the CEI construction. Herein, we reveal an anti-synergy effect between Li+-solvation and interfacial electric field by visualizing the dynamic evolution of electrolyte solvation configuration at the cathode-electrolyte interface, which determines the concentration of interfacial solvated-Li+. The Li+ solvation in the charging process facilitates the construction of a concentrated (Li+-solvent/anion-rich) interface and anion-derived CEI, while the repulsive force derived from interfacial electric field induces the formation of a diluted (solvent-rich) interface and solvent-derived CEI. Modifying the electrochemical protocols and electrolyte formulation, we regulate the "inflection voltage" arising from the anti-synergy effect and prolong the lifetime of the concentrated interface, which further improves the functionality of CEI architecture.

RESUMO

Lactate, which is an end product of glycolysis, has traditionally been considered a metabolic waste. However, numerous studies have demonstrated that lactate serves metabolic and nonmetabolic functions in physiological processes and multiple diseases. Cancer and pulmonary arterial hypertension have been shown to undergo metabolic reprogramming, which is accompanied by increased lactate production. Metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modifications have been extensively linked; furthermore, posttranslational modifications of histones caused by metabolites play a vital role in epigenetic alterations. In this paper, we reviewed recent research on lactate-induced histone modifications and provided a new vision about the metabolic effect of glycolysis. Based on our review, the cross talk between the metabolome and epigenome induced by glycolysis may indicate novel epigenetic regulatory and therapeutic opportunities. There is a magnificent progress in the interaction between metabolomics and epigenomics in recent decades, but many questions still remained to be investigated. Lactylation is found in different pathophysiological states and leads to diverse biological effects; however, only a few mechanisms of lactylation have been illustrated. Further research on lactylation would provide us with a better understanding of the cross talk between metabolomics and epigenomics.

RESUMO

Interference data obtained by a spatial heterodyne spectrometer (SHS) is subject to various error factors and suffers from complex phase distortion. Traditional phase correction methods, such as the Amplitude, Merzt, and Forman methods, extract phase distortion in the spectral domain and correct it, which cannot effectively correct spatial phase distortion. Through theoretical derivation and numerical simulation, the spatial phase distortion is firstly determined and corrected in the interference domain. The frequency-dependent phase distortion is then extracted in the spectral domain and corrected. This novel phase distortion correction method named the phase decomposition method was applied to the in-orbit interference data of Greenhouse gases Monitoring Instrument-II (GMI-II). Compared with traditional phase correction methods, the root-mean-square error of the spectrum corrected using the phase decomposition method is reduced by 81.37%.

RESUMO

In this paper, a spatial static polarization modulation interference spectrum technique is proposed, which combines polarimetric spectral intensity modulation (PSIM) technology and spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS), and can obtain the total Stokes parameters of the target light simultaneously. Moreover, there are no moving parts or electronically controlled modulation parts. In this paper, the mathematical model of the modulation process and demodulation process of spatial static polarization modulation interference spectroscopy is deduced, a computer simulation is carried out, the principle prototype is developed, and a verification experiment is carried out. Simulation and experimental results show that the combination of PSIM and SHS can achieve high-precision static synchronous measurement of high spectral resolution, high time resolution, and continuous band complete polarization information.

RESUMO

Digital micromirror device (DMD) and spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS) combined modulation interference spectroscopy (DMD-SHS) introduces a DMD for the secondary modulation of interferometric data to achieve a Hadamard transform. DMD-SHS can improve the performance index of the spectrometer in terms of the SNR, dynamic range, and spectral bandwidth, while retaining the advantages of a conventional SHS. The DMD-SHS optical system is more complex than a traditional SHS, which places more demands on the optical system's spatial layout and the optical components' performance. According to the DMD-SHS modulation mechanism, the functions of the main components were analyzed, and their design requirements were determined. Based on the potassium spectra detection, a DMD-SHS experimental device was designed. The potassium lamp and integrating sphere detection experiments demonstrated the detection capability of the DMD-SHS experimental device with a spectral resolution of 0.0327 nm and a spectral range of 763.66∼771.25n m, which thoroughly verified the feasibility of DMD and SHS combined modulation interference spectroscopy.

RESUMO

The greenhouse gas monitoring instruments were carried on the Gaofen-5-II satellite, which was launched into orbit from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on September 7, 2021. In order to improve the on-orbit data quantification level, a calibration device based on diffuse reflector system was designed, which can realize on-orbit spectral and radiation calibration. In this paper, the principle of standard spectral line selection is given, and the characteristic spectral lines that can be used for on-orbit spectral calibration are extracted. The wavelength deviation evaluation function is established by using the method of matching the high-resolution reference spectrum after the linear function of the convolution instrument with the on-orbit calibration measurement spectrum, and finally using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to evaluate the function. The optimization solution is the on-orbit wavelength calibration result. According to the above method, the on-orbit calibration data are processed. After calibration, the maximum deviation of the on-orbit spectral offset is changed from 0.133 to 0.009c m -1, and variations in magnitude less than 10% of the spectral resolution for C O 2 (1.57 µm) band have been detected.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study explored associations between histological features of dysplasia and malignant transformation, as well as genomic copy number alterations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Overall, 201 samples were collected from patients of oral leukoplakia. The associations of dysplastic features with malignant transformation and copy number alterations were investigated by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: Eight individual histological features, such as irregular epithelial stratification (p = 0.001), mitoses high in epithelium (p = 0.033), extension of changes along minor gland ducts (p < 0.001), etc., were associated with greater risk of malignant transformation. A model including histological features and age showed good performance for predicting malignant transformation (area under receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.806). Irregular epithelial stratification (p = 0.007), abnormal nuclear shape (p = 0.005), abnormal cell size (p = 0.004), etc. were associated with greater genomic instability. CONCLUSIONS: A Cox proportional hazards model using eight histological features and patient age reliably predicted the malignant potential of oral epithelial dysplasia. Identification of these histological features closely related to malignant transformation may aid the management of oral potentially malignant disorders and early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

RESUMO

Context: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has become a global public-health problem, and people living in low-resource settings may be more likely to be infected because of unhealthy life habits, poor sanitary conditions, and overuse of antibiotics without a prescription. Objectives: The study intended to assess the susceptibility of H. pylori to nine antibiotics commonly prescribed for eradication of H. pylori infections among minority people in Yunnan province, China, to provide updated recommendations for H. pylori eradication therapy among adults. Design: The research team designed a cross-sectional observational study. Setting: The study took place in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Yunnan Province. Participants: Participants were 276 people in the Mosuo or Pumi minority population who had lived on the shores of Lugu Lake in Ninglang county, Yunnan province in China for generations. Outcome Measures: After completing a questionnaire, all participants underwent 13C-urea breath test, and those with a positive result participated in an antimicrobial-susceptibility test. For each H. pylori isolate, the research team tested the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of nine commonly used antibiotics: amoxicillin, azithromycin, levofloxacin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline, rifampicin, gentamicin, and moxifloxacin. Results: The research team confirmed that 276 participants were resistant to at least one antibiotic. The resistances rates for moxifloxacin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin were the highest, while that for amoxicillin was the lowest, and no isolates were resistant to gentamicin. Double resistance (33.20%) had the highest proportion of all multiple-resistance patterns. Moreover, the metronidazole resistance rate was higher in females than in males and in nonsmokers than in smokers, and rifampicin resistance was higher in nondrinkers than in drinkers, suggesting that smoking and drinking might be protective against metronidazole and rifampicin resistance. Conclusions: Most of the Mosuo and Pumi people in Yunnan were resistant to antibiotics. Moxifloxacin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin should no longer be the main medicines for H. pylori, whereas amoxicillin and gentamicin should be recommended to be the first-line clinical therapy for H. pylori eradication regimens.

RESUMO

Development of high-energy-density rechargeable battery systems not only needs advanced qualitative characterizations for mechanism exploration but also requires accurate quantification technology to quantitatively elucidate products and fairly assess numerous modification strategies. Herein, as a reliable quantification technology, titration mass spectroscopy (TMS) is developed to accurately quantify O-related anionic redox reactions (Li-O2 battery and nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM)/Li-rich cathodes), parasitic carbonate deposition and decomposition (derived from air-exposure degradation and electrolyte oxidation), and dead Li0 formation (Li-metal battery and over-discharged graphite anode). TMS technology can harvest key information on products (e.g., quantification of oxidized lattice oxygen and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI)/cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) components) and guide corresponding design strategy by enhancing understanding of the mechanism (e.g., clearly distinguish the catalytic target of highly oxidative Ni4+ on the NCM cathode). Not limited as a rigid quantification tool for widely known products/mechanisms, TMS technology has been demonstrated as a powerful and versatile tool for the investigations of advanced batteries.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To study the role of plasma exchange combined with continuous blood purification in the treatment of refractory Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS). METHODS: A total of 35 children with KDSS who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Hunan Children's Hospital, from January 2019 to August 2022 were included as subjects. According to whether plasma exchange combined with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration dialysis was performed, they were divided into a purification group with 12 patients and a conventional group with 23 patients. The two groups were compared in terms of clinical data, laboratory markers, and prognosis. RESULTS: Compared with the conventional group, the purification group had significantly shorter time to recovery from shock and length of hospital stay in the pediatric intensive care unit, as well as a significantly lower number of organs involved during the course of the disease (P<0.05). After treatment, the purification group had significant reductions in the levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, heparin-binding protein, and brain natriuretic peptide (P<0.05), while the conventional group had significant increases in these indices after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the children in the purification group tended to have reductions in stroke volume variation, thoracic fluid content, and systemic vascular resistance and an increase in cardiac output over the time of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma exchange combined with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration dialysis for the treatment of KDSS can alleviate inflammation, maintain fluid balance inside and outside blood vessels, and shorten the course of disease, the duration of shock and the length of hospital stay in the pediatric intensive care unit.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of the single or combined applications of transient elastography (TE) and multivariate indicators with biopsy for the detection of liver fibrosis in children caused by chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS: This study included 148 CHB children treated at Hunan Children's Hospital from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2018, aged from 0.83 to 14.58 years old. All patients underwent liver biopsy (LB), of which 43 patients underwent TE. Multiple clinical data, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Platelet (PLT), and HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) of all patients were collected. The diagnostic values for CHB of TE and its combinations with these indicators were measured. The patients were classified in two ways: no hepatic fibrosis group (F0) versus fibrosis group (F ≥ 1), and no significant hepatic fibrosis group (F < 2) versus significant hepatic fibrosis group (F ≥ 2). The statistical assessment was performed between groups within each classification to compare the diagnostic value of different parameters. RESULTS: The operating characteristic area under curve (AUC) of liver fibrosis diagnosed by liver stiffness measurement (LSM) which obtained by TE, AST-to-PLT ratio index (APRI), and fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) were 0.740, 0.701, and 0.651, while the corresponding cut-off values were 5.9 kPa, 0.50, and 0.10, respectively. The AUC of significant liver fibrosis diagnosed by LSM, APRI and FIB-4 were 0.849, 0.701, and 0.509, while the corresponding cut-off values were 8.4 kPa, 0.76, and 0.08, respectively. While with the combinations of LSM and APRI, LSM and FIB-4, LSM and APRI and FIB-4, APRI and FIB-4, the AUC of significant liver fibrosis were 0.866, 0.855, 0.869, and 0.684, respectively. The AUC of significant liver fibrosis diagnosed by the LSM was significantly higher than APRI and FIB-4. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic value of transient elastography was better than that of APRI and FIB-4 for CHB children with significant liver fibrosis. In addition, TE also has relatively high application values on the diagnosis of patients with different degrees of liver fibrosis caused by CHB.

RESUMO

In real life, there are few occasions where nanomaterials are exposed alone, and more often they coexist with other chemical substances. This article mainly studies the teaching of using nano-silver dressings in clinical nursing of surgically infected wounds. In this paper, the convenience sampling method is used to select 60 patients with chronic wounds as the research objects. A 160µg/mL nano-silver solution prepared with 10% fetal bovine serum DMEM culture medium was dropped on the copper net, and TEM was used for detection. The nanosilver dispersed in different dispersions was divided into 4mL EP tubes and incubated at 4°C, 25°C and 37°C for 0, 3, 12, 24, and 48 hours, and the sample at different time points were detected by a microplate reader. The maximum UV absorption peak was at 300~700nm wavelength. The micro broth dilution method was used to detect the susceptibility of different strains to Ag-PVPNPs and antibiotics. In order to study the relationship between the cytotoxicity of nano silver ion dressings and time, the nano silver ion composite dressings CZ-J1, CZ-J2, CZ-J3, CZ-J4 group samples prepared by the immersion method were selected as test samples, and the test samples were against L02 cells. At different periods, some cloth samples were taken out for anti-adhesion testing. The SPSS19.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, and the measurement data were expressed by the mean and standard deviation, and the homogeneity of variance was tested first. The data shows that when combined with 12.5µg/mL Ag-PVP NPs, 2µg/mL gentamicin can completely inhibit the growth of bacteria compared with 50% inhibition rate when acting alone. The results show that nano-silver activated carbon fiber dressing can effectively promote the healing of pressure sore wounds.
